A biogeographical overview of the Canadian mushroom flora

Abstract

Maps showing the North American distributions of 74 species of fleshy fungi, mainly Agaricales, are used to demonstrate variations in fungal ranges. Each map is based on examined specimens or selected literature. The maps are arranged to show North American floristic patterns, while the species in the text are grouped along worldwide patterns. Range patterns resemble those reported for vascular plants, ascolichens, and bryophytes. The names Hypholoma flavifolium (Smith) comb.nov. and Strobilurus trullisatus var. montezumae (Singer) comb. & stat.nov. are proposed.
